こんにちは. Or for your time zone おはようございます.
Greetings from the land of the rising sun. Just three weeks since I am back from Korea ago. Now finally I have time to tell you what.
Well, as you press his impressions of an entire country into a report? Lets see ... be won
Due to the tight schedule and the uncertainty whether Korea within a week I have two German and a Japanese / American, depending on the political situation and outlook for discussing issues with him. When we in Seoul with the machine of the JAL went down it was much colder than in Japan (which was not attributable to the political situation back). Still, money was exchanged at the airport 1 € ~ 1500 Won . Since swim in coal without end. According Big Mac Index Korea is the price ratio about the level of Germany and is up almost 50% cheaper than Japan - for selected products. At the airport, so there was once a monster ice for an estimated 60 cents.
Some products containing Korea is cheaper as well.
The Airport - Limousine (bus) to us then hauled in 65 minutes to Hostel . The bus is the " SungKyunKwan " University should face a Dunkin Donuts be and therefore easily identifiable. A special thanks to this kind of Directions ! Seoul is probably the Americanized corner of the world outside America, or who white perhaps even more crammed with cliche American businesses as America itself along the route were a total of 6 Dunkin Donuts opposite the bus stops, of which 4 stops even a university assigned . Since the written language very crazy to Word Arts remembered and the Spoken be difficult to keep apart, it was more of a coincidence that we have found the path.
Seoul: Stinks! Not in the figurative sense but in the true sense of the word. The city exudes a in most Areas of the pleasant smell of the drains. Our room was as far from the exception.
South Korea: Is a developing country . We can shear the seen with the same brush saying "Korea is like Japan twenty years ago!" (Quote of the Japanese part of our Japanese / American friend Shoin ). Now I was twenty years ago in Japan and would probably remember only fragments, but if I imagine myself Japan twenty years ago, it would be like South Korea today. Without the stench!
Language: Korean. It is thought possible! The language is based on the same roots as Chinese or Japanese (they told us). The characters, fun bars, circles, rectangles, etc., were introduced with Word and be wild benefit of old and Ctrl key combined, colorful localized at the QWERTY keyboard, with each other. Indeed, previously used in Korea to Chinese Kanji back, but these were later replaced by a (supposedly) highly educated king.
English: Wide, very common. Where to Tokyo in not even in its "International Christian University - engschlisch Library speaking staff finds it is in Seoul in the smallest shop in English welcome welcomed.
Actual price level: Seductive! Especially when coming from Japan and has become accustomed to NEN beer ( Happoshu ) in the store costs 5 €, Korea is like a paradise on earth. In every bar, every restaurant and every restaurant you get for about 3 € a German beer.
local brands - are not to be despised - and come for about 2 € rolled over the counter. A 45 minute taxi ride to the 5 star hotel, including local casino, costs about 10 €. The casino is a little more expensive then. minimum use were about 2 €, at the roulette table right behind inconspicuous in the corner. On average, I would use the minimum estimate to 15 €, Texas Hold-Em was recommended only if you could buy for about 500 €. Food and drink was in the shed, however - as long as they played - for free. were ordered at the table, eating in the restaurant. The 50,000 Won I have spent, I've got something of routinely clean again.
HIGHLIGHT: puffer! in one of the soup - it was only realized in hindsight, what gave me something to kick taken . Will the need to try again, because if you do not know , tastes the fish elegantly unobtrusive. The problem with the supposedly low prices is that one is tempted to say "Oh, so now is not so expensive - we stop every morning and evening to the restaurant." Compared to Japan, right, the account but then brings a quick return to the earth.
Bottom line: I am a star, a famous fucking star . " Veni, vidi , vici " ladies and gentlemen. The Drops is sucked, the game is run, played the last time!
Everywhere German flags, anthems, Fans, cheering and fanfare. In fact, is really very much related, "Germany" in South Korea. The population is much more receptive and open to strangers - so here not long ago as the Japanese. Several times we were arbitrarily Koreans approached and involved in discussions. This may be due to easy to find significantly less "western" tourists, as one would expect 1 week after the G20 Summit. The few which are run with blond hair around as quickly fall to the attraction. Overall, I was dragged to 7 photos, and had repeated any teens in the arm which I mentioned necessarily (containing sake of fairness that two German friends here my little different) was adopted on NEM have photo immortalized with it wanted. More frequently it is "unnoticed" landed on photos. For arbitrary spin around often a camera was pointed at you.
I mean I am used;) - strange but it was already. The positive impression it has only intensified - with 30 so if all else tear should find it myself in Korea.
I hereby agree before the excursion as "successful". Tokyo and Korea under my direct control. The castle was on the last picture I have my way, dressing.
Get over the weekend then still NEN line about
you all a nice 4 th Advent! Enjoy the photos (right click on it) is
Best regards, D
